Did you know that the latest technology and research shows that the brain undergoes very specific changes in its functioning during a close combat incident?

Whether training for self defence, law enforcement / military close combat procedures, or traditional martial arts and sports fighting: under certain conditions the brain will switch from one mode of functioning to another. The Maul Book is the first book to delve into this research, and through extensive testing within different close combat environments, integrate this research into new and fresh training methodologies. The Maul Book is a must for any practitioner from any martial arts, self defence, close combat or tactical environment, as well as for instructors serious about providing the best training developed and influenced through the latest research.

Here's what you will learn from The Maul Book:

  • What the latest research teaches on the brain's functioning under certain conditions.
  • Old brain models that have now been shown as defunct and obsolete.
  • How the changes in brain function influences performance and decision making within highly dynamic environments.
  • How to better identify and select targets within high speed and ever changing situations.
  • Techniques, tactics and training methodologies that work WITH the brain and it's different ways of functioning.
  • How to apply this research into any martial art or close combat training system.
  • The core knowledge base of The Maul as an example of how to integrate the research into an existing system.

What do some of our proof readers say?

"I could easily just state that this is one of the best books on knife combatives I have read, ever, and be done with it. But that would be a disservice to both the authors and to you, the reader... It is, quite simply, the best approach to realistic knife combatives written in years... I cannot give it a higher recommendation than this, read it, practice it, read it again, and keep working it. This is good stuff. I wish this book was out when I started in this arena."-Terry Trahan

"The Maul tells you why some things probably won't work and why you should reassess your own training to realign it with what is currently known about the human brain. This is the most important book on Defensive Edged Weapons to come out in years."-Don Rearic


"Reading 'The Maul' as a review for Schalk and Gavin was a sheer pleasure. As I read it I saw thoughts chrystalise into reality... I taught some of the content on the night I finished reviewing the book, yes it is that good, and my students, instructor and senior instructor who were present clearly benefited from it, as did I. The Maul is recommended reading for anyone serious about self improvement and advancing their knowledge."-Garry Smith

"I believe regardless of the readers knowledge base, this book is worth reading and drawing from."-Xavier Knox

"Concise, easily incorporated into existing training and research driven! You cannot ask for more."-Dr. TJ Greyvenstein
